I have been thinking for a long time about producing silk scarves printed with some of my oil paintings . I don’t want to use traditional silk because the way it is produced goes against my beliefs on animal welfare. So I have sourced a vegan silk alternative and printed a small batch of scarves.
I am reallypleased with them! They are made in the UK and I package the scarves in fully recycled and recyleable gift boxes. Inside the box with the scarf, I enclose a little leaflet with the story of the original oil painting that features on the scarf.
I have chosen some of my floral designs, birds, hares, a pheasant and my ‘Party Animal’ Alpaca design (see left)
Each scarf looks different each time it is worn due to the variety of colours and random nature of where the brush strokes appear.
